    Best seafood ever!! My recommendation to try the red snapper, grouper those are best! Salmon is no doubt always good, but if you want to try something new go for the other 2 . I ordered a trout this time, it was too good, but just a little bland. Great service and the ambience is very soothing.

    I love Pappadeaux's, when we visit I always order the redfish pontchartrain. Service is great. The problem I want to express is that the food was delivered with a great presentation BUT COLD. This is unacceptable, the meal my wife ordered was also cold. I have come to express to the server that I would like my food served hot not warm, HOT. We ordered meals totaling over $100 and they can not serve it hot. WHY? To say less I opted to walk out.

    Today my husband and I ate at Pappadeaux on 75. It wasn’t too busy. We were seated and noticed a family who came in before us were helped before we were. A few minutes later the manager Fonzi came to our table and told us he noticed that we weren’t being helped. He offered us an appetizer at no cost. Then shortly Davion appeared to take care of us. If all employees were as intelligent and thoughtful as those two you could not keep people from putting this restaurant on the top of the list! BTW, we did not order an appetizer but it was a considerate gesture which we appreciated!

    The bartender recommended a cucumber infused martini that was refreshing. Nice for an afternoon refresh. I ordered the crab cake. Lumps and lumps of crab! Best crab cake I’ve had in ages. Would go back!!

    If you’ve ever wondered what great service feels like, stop by the Pappadeaux on Central Expressway in Richardson and ask for Ryan. I came in for lunch and left genuinely impressed. The atmosphere was exactly what you want after a long morning...inviting and upbeat. I ordered the spicy grouper with truffle potatoes, and let’s just say the flavor didn’t miss a single note. Even after that, Ryan was witty (and persuasive) enough to sell dessert to a man who was already overstuffed (the pecan pie was worth every bite. I shared my appreciation with the manager, but I wanted Corporate to know this too: it’s rare these days to find someone who genuinely enjoys what they do. Ryan embodies that. Service like his doesn’t just make a meal, it creates loyalty.
